Recently I asked for some feedback on posting reviews about a wallet and a Samsung Gear Smart watch, and I got some great comments and emails expressing a variety of opinions.  I took all of the comments into account and they all had a big influence in my decision, which was not to follw any of them. :D  I'll have more news on that shortly so keep an eye out. … [Read more...]

I saw these MAGNETIPS Fineliner pens (via Kickstarter) and my honest first reaction was to brush them off, but after looking more closely and reading the whole project page, I gave it some thought and think these might actually be kind of cool.  I'm usually a big fan of anything with super strong neodymium magnets, but hesitate when it comes to "novelty" type pens.  I think the addition of the magnets on these provide a ton of cool functionality though so … [Read more...]
